Williams is seeking to become just the second athlete to win a gold medal in the Summer and Winter Olympics. She and Meyers completed two heats at the Sanki Sliding Center track in 1 minute, 54.89 seconds on a rainy Tuesday night.

The Americans lead Canada's Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse by 0.23 seconds heading into Wednesday's two runs.

Jones took up bobsled to keep chasing her dream of winning a medal after failing in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Games.

SPEED SKATING

Sven Kramer stayed in the right lane this time.

No matter. He was again denied a gold medal in the speedskating race he wanted more than any other.

With a stunner of a finishing kick, Jorrit Bergsma knocked off the world's greatest distance skater, winning the 10,000 meters with an Olympic-record time on Tuesday.

Kramer gave away a sure gold in speedskating's longest event with an inexplicable mistake while changing lanes at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

This time, he simply got beat by -- almost inevitably at the Sochi Games -- a fellow Dutchman.

Bergsma turned in the fastest sea-level time ever, 12 minutes, 44.45 seconds, and shattered the Olympic record of 12:58.55 set by South Korea's Lee Seung-hoon four years ago.

Kramer settled for silver in 12:49.02. The bronze went to 37-year-old Bob de Jong.

It was another orange sweep, the fourth 1-2-3 finish for the Netherlands at Adler Arena, its speedskating medal haul climbing to 19 out of a possible 27.

NORDIC COMBINED

Joergen Graabak took gold and Magnus Moan the silver in the large hill event Tuesday at the Sochi Olympics, giving Norway its first one-two finish in a Nordic combined event in 78 years.

Defending gold medalist Billy Demong of Park City, Utah, finished in 31st place, 2:13.8 behind the winner. The leading American was Taylor Fletcher in 20th, two places ahead of his older brother Bryan, both from Steamboat Springs, Colo.

American veteran Todd Lodwick, still recovering from a left shoulder injury, did not start the cross-country race after finishing 30th in ski jumping.

BIATHLON

Norway's Emil Hegle Svendsen edged French rival Martin Fourcade by the length of a ski tip Tuesday to win the last individual biathlon gold of the Sochi Olympics.

Svendsen went ahead of Fourcade on the final stretch of the men's 15-kilometer mass start race and put his arms up in celebration when the Frenchman slid by and pushed his left ski ahead -- only just too late.

Svendsen and Fourcade both finished in 42 minutes, 29.1 seconds. Ondrej Moravec of Czech Republic was 13.8 behind to take bronze for his second medal of the games after winning silver in the 12.5K pursuit.

WOMEN'S HOCKEY

Noora Raty stopped 18 shots in her Olympic finale and Michelle Karvinen scored twice to lead Finland to a 4-0 victory over Russia on Tuesday in the women's hockey fifth-place game.

Raty started with the Finnish national team when she was 15 and won two NCAA championships at Minnesota. She has said she will retire from the national team after the Sochi Games.

In the seventh-place game, Susann Gotz had a goal and an assist to lead Germany to a 3-2 victory over Japan.
